Hi guys,
My 2006 3.2 is due its second long life service (the car has done around 32,000 miles) in around 30 days and I've just been looking at the service book and its seems to me all they pretty much do is change the oil and filter and check a few things. Stuff like the quatro and DSG fluid change is not till 40,000 miles.
I'm pretty good with the spanners so whats stopping me from change the oil and filter my self and then resetting the service counter?
The car is out of warranty this month (and out of the Audi used warranty in Feb) so is that the only thing I could end up losing? I intend to keep the car for at least 3 years.
I've got Vagcom which i take it is needed for resetting the service counter?
Maybe I should pay it for it this time and then do it myself starting next year, its just that the servicing prices look so expensive!
Cheers
Matt
